NEW DELHI: A 12-year-old girl was allegedly sexually assaulted by a man inside a park near Rajouri Garden. The accused has been arrested.
She was waiting, along with her 8-year-old brother, for a delivery agent at a bus stop on Saturday afternoon when the 42-year-old accused, a drug addict and the owner of a jute product factory, threatened to harm the boy if she did not accompany him.
The man then forced her into oral sex and clicked her photographs after disrobing her.
The survivor said they were waiting for the delivery of some books when the accused, identified as Neeraj Kohli, tried to drag her brother into the park and threatened to sexually assault him.
The siblings narrated the ordeal to their mother after returning home and a case was lodged under sections of rape and Pocso Act after the girl was medically examined. A police team caught Kohli from the park where he was found consuming drugs.
Police said the children's parents stayed in another locality but the father owned a shop near the park. The girl is being counselled by an NGO team to help her deal with the trauma.
(The victim's identity has not been revealed to protect her privacy as per Supreme court directives on cases related to sexual assault)
